The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a program of study in methods of design, application, and analysis of electrical systems. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of electrical engineering, as well as advanced topics. The goal is to prepare graduates capable of performing well in industry and in graduate school. There is a total of 128 credit hours in the electrical engineering curriculum required for graduation.
The electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (ABET).
Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The electrical engineering curriculum at Southern University is dedicated to preparing students for productive careers in the state, nation, and the world. Within a few years after graduation, graduates of the electrical engineering program will:
|
PEO-1:
|
Have developed the skills pertinent to design electrical engineering systems, including the ability to formulate problems clearly, to think creatively, to synthesize information globally, to work collaboratively, and to communicate effectively. |
|
PEO-2:
|
Have an understanding of ethical and professional responsibilities when using data analysis, computational skills, and experimental techniques to solve electrical engineering problems.
|
|
PEO-3:
|
Have demonstrated the knowledge necessary to function effectively in roles of leadership and service to the public; necessary preparation for this is gained in areas such as basic management, business and public policy and this preparation will allow graduates to continue learning and adapting to evolving technologies, procedures, and concepts in electrical engineering.
